I.
Ode the thrill of a tango
curled in clutches sleek
Elegance, a prerequisite
Add on a spun euphoria
Nimble is a turgid swoon!
Arms conduct to the aria
New skin, feels no tocsin
It's deeply in a you and i
Glazed, to the tightening
and a strangling organza
Necked into a suffocation
So go the tunnel deaths…
(1/27/2021: '02 Silverton MY; Alameda ...contest theme was murder in the tunnel)
II.
Ornately, I gild over my days a’ la fresco
Carefully, I wield molten gold, enigmatic
Elaborate must these life undulations be
as metallic sheen screens all insipid aura
New cantankerous crack? Just weld upon
and smooth the jagged with flowing flora
Now the feckless plaster sparkles golden
I spurn mawkish, like the silvered literati
glossing my craven, to caverns gleaming
Aurum weaves, in its narcissistic miasma
Nothing malodorous in self-love / loathin’
So imperious my bombastic art, it glazes!
(8.17.21 Redone at Willow Berm and DBW; theme was Craig’s Broken contest relating to Kintsugi)

Fright Features
1) Fright Night
Assured steps lead my costumed son,
dwells California night slight calm,
tugs tight-fitted guise sparse undone,
assured steps lead my costumed son,
plus kid brother midst stargazed fun,
his hand held in brother's cool palm,
assured steps lead my costumed son.
An Alameda porch shines bright,
as bold thumb press a doorbell ring,
a squire smiles at his silvered knight,
an Alameda porch shines bright,
answers tall clown causes a fright,
naive grabs sweets snub elder's cling,
an Alameda porch shines bright.
2) Fright Flight
A bright Livermore cloudless sky,
sits a Piper Cherokee plane,
my pilot friend, his wife and I,
a bright Livermore cloudless sky,
Phoenix bound, 4-seater, breaths sigh,
took-off without a hitch fears wane,
a bright Livermore cloudless sky,
Comes a fear not to be ignored,
Meteor Crater, prayed plenty,
spirals down to a lift, restored
comes a fear not to be ignored,
Grand Canyon sights yon his dashboard,
some dive took, I flipped a penny,
comes a fear not to be ignored.

Maybe she wishes to buy a rose -
Then I should have one,
But what if she wants to choose -
A bouquet must be done.
But I will hide my favorite
Amid the colorful lush -
Dressed surprisingly in white -
Ready to face an ambush.
What if she will be content -
Roaming like a bumblebee
As the sun dives from the firmament
And the garden’s alameda is free?
We can resume our trade,
Because the only alternative
Is the only we have made:
to have my rose back alive.

You and I
Is the past
I am feeling so good I am riding down Alameda feeling so good down here in Baltimore MD on Home coming ( Morgan State University)
Feeling so good a two- three defense can’t stick me
Sorry to inform you this way but I elevate myself to higher position
I didn’t even have to consolidate my bills because everything is paid for opps did I forget I pay cash for every thing
I have that passion to please
I donate to Salvation Army and I didn’t just donate can foods I provided can openers also.
I am so Good and happy Today
I Wish you was Here with me too celebrate ……
